Hm. Maybe I'm able now to open my own virtual retro Amiga shop.
... but then, Amiga is going out of fashion and you need to give up on it. :cry:

Steam Survey for January 2025 shows Linux still above 2%

Bazzite numbers would be interesting... I heard of quite a few people who switched in the last time to Bazzite because of it's ease of use and stability.
< 2.47%, I guess...

Physics building game Besiege gets a big 10 year anniversary update

Ten years?! It can't be that long . . . I bought it when it had come out pretty recently and I still haven't gotten around to playing it yet!
I think it had quite some early access time.

I'd rather take three handcrafted planets than those generated trillions of them.

Lamplight City was very good, especially the choices actually mattering.
I showed some... not sure anymore, I think human bones to somebody. She was shocked and refused to talk to me any more. So I (reloaded and) started to actually think what I should and shouldn't be doing instead of just clicking on anything possible!
Will buy Rosewater, too.
Additionally, Application Systems Heidelberg is a very Linux friendly publisher.

Linux 'fascinates and terrifies' the dev of DEAD LETTER DEPT. but they're supporting it anyway

What I find difficult to understand: How can you learn to code software and have absolutely no contact with POSIX while doing it?
C64, Armstrad, MSX, Sinclair, ... Windows, ...

Maybe nobody is learning C anymore as everybody is going straight for C++ (or Rust, or C# or or or…), but I’ve always seen C and Linux as being intertwined…
That must be it - the world moved on and I became an old man yelling at a cloud.
Actually, developer world does turn in the Linux direction. Ever touched Docker and Kubernetes on Windows? No? Lucky you! :D

And our build guys are reporting an unbelievable factor (like 4 or so) in build times between Windows and Linux. :woot:
So despite being a slow moving company in a slow moving business, we will move to Linux over time.

Now this came just in time...!

My children started to play Minecraft inspired stuff on the school yard lately (don't ask me, I don't know either...). Today, I wanted to buy Minecraft, so we can play together (I played it before!), and see, my favorite (and only) gaming site has got what I need!

I wonder what's happening at Daedalic?
Didn't they shut down their development department?
